I own this system and have not had any problems with bags leaking. I have had a couple items stored for 6 weeks and still sealed thoroughly. My Mother has this same system and did have a few problems with random bags. She e-mailed the company and they sent her a coupon for a couple of boxes of free freezer bags.

Same here!!!!!!!!! just bought two more boxes and NOT ONE so far has held it's seal! going to write to the CEO and send him/her some of the defective bags, extremely disappointed and will try the manual hand pump from Zip Lock. Just Garbage!

I have had nothing but BAD results witha the Hanid-Vac. Out of 3 boxes of 14 bags each the success rate is about 3 bags per box! When this rip off works it is wonderful - otherwise as you see I and my wife are more than displeased. Does NOTwork as well as the normal cheaper freezer bags with just the zip top. Another good idea that works in the lab but when put into production is a flop.

Thank you! many times... I will seek out the Ziploc pump + bags at your (and others)solid recomendations. It is gratifying to know I am deffinately not the only "leaky" bag person.

Hi!!! does the seal hold with the Zip Lock?? and how many pumps for a gallon bag I know it depends on how much is in it but I'm just looking for an estimate. ThanksTom j.

Thanks for your comments I've had similar problems like with your mother, I'm sending back 4 bags that leak really bad hopefully this was just a bad batch I really want to like the product and when the bags do seal properly it an incredible little system I actually bought it to compliment my more expensive Food Saver Say could you post again and let me know how your mothers new bags work out. Thanks!

I haven't had a problem with leaking, but mine are still pretty new. I tossed a mason jar with smoothie into the diaper bag. It didn't leak. It was kind of risky, but I was desperate at the moment.

I have 3 kids that use them and have never had a problem with leaks and one son who always has a problem with leaks. I think it is user error :)

Mine doesn't have any leaks. Maybe you got a defected product and probably should contact the store to replace it for you. (Mine doesn't get deflated very often. I mean I inflate it like once a month or once in 3 weeks).

I've done as much as 8 oz and had no issues. I've used atleast 300 bags and only ever had 1 leak

Haven't purchased any lately, but the few bags I have gotten in the past were always wonderful. Sorry to hear you're having a bad experience, I am sure they will replace them for you if you contact the seller thru Amazon in a timely manner.

I had the same issue and was told that they do leak if tilted - so the lid is not defective. I had to purchase the other lid without the flip cap to keep it from leaking in my gym bag.

I do not know why people are having a hard time feeding the bag. I use mine constantly and have never had some big issue feeding the bags in. Line it up, slowly feed it in. I feel they may be trying to shove it in there with the bag not flattened out. I don't know. I love mine!!

Nope, I haven't encountered any trouble with leakage and I've been using these water bottles for years. I throw them in my bag all the time. The black caps have rubber rings on them that block any water from seeping out.

I have this unit and the sealer works fine the problem is the bags , all the bags I have tested within a day or so they are full of air again. Depending on what you are sealing ...any water in bag tends to break the seal.Bags cost money and just do not keep their seal very long.In my opinion if your sealing something dry it will hold anything wet doesn't.Your just better off with the big permanent sealers for anything long storage.

Wish we could help. We bought four boxes of ProPack 1-gallon storage bags from Amazon some months ago. We've been working through the first box, so far with no problems. Based on your question, we opened a second box of them this morning, but still encounered no problems. Looks like indeed you were unlucky enough to get a bad shipment. Hope you get a replacement shipment or a refund!

Hi Kate - well it seems that only us purchasers will accept that this product has a problem with the leaking - krups it seems don't - I've emailed them. I am now about to send my THIRD Circolo back (purchased this time through Co-op online just to make sure it was not a 'faulty batch' that Amazon had in stock. Seems that it was not. Anyhows, going to chose another style now - don't want to because I love the modern style of the Circolo but it seems to me that until Krups acknowledge that there is a problem they won't actually sort it out!

No problems at all with leakage. I have it thrown in my bag in transit or if I'm not using for a while, so it's not always flat and never leaked. I've bought three (3) sets since the first set worked well and continue to work well. And I'll be buying more in future.

No, sounds like something isn't in tight. I've never had a problem with any of mine leaking. Give the company a call

I just ordered these bags and like you, I use a different brand sealer. I vacuumed sealed about 5 items of which two of them did not work the next day...

No problem with leakage...I mean you will be using a bag in there anyway...

How far away is the bag and how good is your aim? JUST KIDDING. If you're asking whether they'll leak if upside down or on the side, I'd say no. I've never had one leak.
